the new separatism

no, this isn't about Québecois souverainistes

I'm talking about the Second American Revolution

astrologers have been watching the evolution of Pluto-in-Capricorn energy for some time, the same patterns that led to the tea parties and regime changes of the 18th Century, the last time Pluto passed through Capricorn; it’s somewhat mind boggling that so few people see this coming, but I guess King George was surprised, too

of course, there’ve always been right wingnuts south of the 49th, but more, it seems, over the past few decades; and now they’re trying to go legit - in the early days, at least - working for change within the system, and using the Tenth Amendment:

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

one of the things you didn’t hear on the 6 o’clock news is that just before Sarah Palin resigned, she signed a resolution, adopted by a vote of 37-0 in Alaska’s House of Representatives and 40-0 in the state Senate, claiming “sovereignty for the state under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States”

KKK Today

great globs of gunk

there’s some kind of gunk growing off Alaska that no one’s seen before, and no one knows yet what it is or where it came from

it looks like what Newfoundlanders call slub, but it’s strange that the Alaska version has appeared so suddenly; it’s been common around some Newfoundland harbours, especially St. John’s, for decades

Holy Hair!

time warp ?

I had to read the beginning of Patti’s blog posting about hair over again, just to make sure I was reading it right

then my first thought was about how much some of our current Cosmic energy pattern reflects the energies of the 60s, one of the many periods when the length of hair has been a volatile subject; seems it still is [forget climate change! cut your hair!]
